The superstar pair are set to be honored with the Vanguard Award at the 2019 GLAAD Media Awards, which is being held in Los Angeles on Thursday, March 28th.

The annual show honors media for fair, accurate, and inclusive representations of LGBTQ people and issues. The Vanguard Award is presented to allies who have made a significant difference in promoting acceptance of LGBTQ people.

“Beyoncé and Jay- Z are global icons and passionate defenders of human rights and acceptance for all people,” said GLAAD President and CEO Sarah Kate Ellis. “When Beyoncé and Jay-Z speak, the world becomes inspired and when it comes to LGBTQ people, their voices of acceptance have been heard loud and clear. We could not be prouder to stand with them to send a message of love during the biggest LGBTQ event in the world and to honor their work to bend the arc of justice forward for LGBTQ people, people of color, and marginalized communities everywhere.”
